I love mine. Was using it in my latest video
I bought a kit today excited to get playing
Awesome
Thank you for your honesty, and your epic energy..
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the quick reply,I 🤔 I can walk myself through the 1250,with the app and the learning lessons, module doesn't look to hard,so much more in the1250 for a few more pennies,had a pearl set when I was younger, but haven't set behind a set of skins for 30 years, have the time now and I am totally driven, have my online friends,wanna play and have some fun 😀, your videos should help me through, God 🙌 you Bro,gonna go for it 👍😁
Awesome and thanks
Love your video's and it was you and your video's that encouraged me to go out to our local Guitar Center here in Wichita, Kansas and get the SD 1250. I have had it 3 weeks and I will be unboxing it and setting it up this morning. Your video's are very informative and I love the semi- comedy you do especially your introduction and your "Here we go". I got my set on the Black Friday weekend for $849.99 marked down from $929.99 the weekend before and the regular $1099.99. Plus I got a PDP throne, a Velocity two sided (felt and hard plastic) kick pedal and a Simmons DA 2108 drum Amp and I got the 4 year warranty to go with the 2 year Simmons warranty. Keep up the great work. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!.
Man!!! That sounds like an awesome set up! Can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Can take the 2 Toms, and split them, so the rim wouldnt work (who uses tom rims, lol) and use those two inputs for 2 more cymbals. Four Tom, Four cymbal setup. Would love to see a combined set! Great video!
Yes that’s all true… I may do it in a video one day but imma have to bring in a drummer to play all that. 😂
Just got mine. Haven’t gotten to take it out of the box yet.. Thanks for this, it is really helpful. Bought the Alesis Nitro Mesh first and already replacing it. Went back and forth with this and the Crimson II SE. You helped me choose-thank you.
Wow! I think the Crimson is really a nice drum but…. The simmons just inch’s ahead for the win in my book
@@KeithronPowell kits set up, im glad i went with the simmons.
Hey there Keith ... Watched your great informative breakdowns and comparisons, pulled the trigger today on the SD1250 with the Simmons amp @ GC Presidents sale !! Setting it up now. before bedtime,....... Hope I can sleep tonight 🙂 Cheers !!
Awesome!!!! Call out from work and play all night! 😂😂😂
Well …. I did sleep and hooked up the wiring harness in the morning. Everything worked straight out of the box, or I should say boxes, lots of boxes 😂🤣. This is fun !!
This is a great review. Love the Simmons speakers too
Thanks for the comment and the 👍🏽they are very nice!!!! I’ve used them a few times. Get you a pair of ya can!
A note in case you have not come across it... you can add those Splash or Cow Bell addons you had mentioned to the rims of any of the toms. I have the 1200 expanded and have two cymbals added to the small toms with a cow and gong added to the floor tom rims. Or you could always add a drum splitters for the toms and add actual cymbals.
Yeah, I know. What I was trying to suggest was just more stuff to hit. The 1250 module is maxed with no new expansion holes.
Hi Keith, I’m from Peru, big fan!!!! I have the Simmons SD600 thx to review I’m going to buy this new model (hope not wait too long for the shipment), btw great Review!
Awesome! I can tell you that I’ve been impressed by both! But the new one feels more like a real drum! You’ll definitely love it. I’m making more content about it today so stay tuned.
I just ordered this yesterday, along with a double kicker. I'm so excited to get it here and put it together, I couldn't help but check out this video to see what I'm in for. A little disappointed that the module doesn't have any expansion slots, but could I shell out for another module and upgrade it that way, or are they designed specifically to work together? Same for the cymbal triggers, but for my case I'm hoping the sounds will change with the velocity of the hit.
Great video, very informative. Thanks Keithron!
Awesome! I love it. I’ve had it for about a month. Yeah, I asked them about that and they explained their thinking behind no expansion slots. They just wanted to make it easier to get the full experience so they basically gave the expanded accessories. So, the extra tom and cymbal are included as standard.
I’m going to do another video of some stuff to pay attention to so stay tuned.
The SD1200 is now $800, would love to see a comparison to the SD1250 since there is now a $300 price difference. I’m leaning toward the upgraded grey but the blue looks even nicer with a $300 discount. Yes, I get that there is another cymbal and Tom and that the snare has a rim sensor on the SD1250. Question is, does the SD1200 hold up, play well and represent the brand well at the lower price point?
Ok… this is the question I’ve been waiting for. You have to remember the 1200 has been the top dog for a few years. The 1250 is the 1200… with a new coat of paint. So as to durability they’re the same. The only comparison is to add the expansion to the 1200 and make them even… now you’re looking at a $949 for the 1200 and the SD1260 only $150 more.
What makes the 1250 better is the upgraded snare and cymbal. The extra pick up sensor on the snare cuts out on misrepresented hits by making it more accurate and the triple zone sensor on the ride makes for a more realistic feel when playing. The extra $150 is a no brained at that point.
Totally agree, picking mine up next week👍
I just bought one and set it up today. Unfortunately the module is all jacked up. Only get a white screen and no sound most of the time, if I can get the module to power up, it freezes.
They will swap that module. They’re really good at customer service
What I don't understand is that in the description for the SD1250 on Guitar Center's website it says that the ride is "triple zone" and that the snare has a "rimshot sensor". False advertising or...?
Not at all. The cymbal is triple zone. Bell, bow and edge. If you play on one hat isn’t you’ll see the difference. And the rim shot sensor is not the same as a cross stick sensor, which it doesn’t have.
Hey man really digging your videos! I literally just got dropped off the nitro mesh special edition red kit from UPS! I was wondering what your thoughts were on bringing it back and not opening it and going with the Simmons SD 1200 expanded instead! I would love your feedback! Thank you!!
What’s the word? Did you trade it in?
@@KeithronPowell Hey what’s happening! Yes I did, brought it back and decided to go with the SD 1250! Should be arriving tomorrow!
Where did you find the drum key in your kit? I just unboxed my kit. The Instructions said it supposed to be in the same bag with Manuel but I don’t see a drum key . Thanks
You better not throw those other boxes out. Lol 😂 it could be in the accessories box
Hi, does anyone know if it comes with Acustic sounds or you need to buy the soundbank for it? Like the Roland. Thanks
Yes… it has multiple acoustic sets
I have the SD1200 (Nice set). Can you address SD1250's Hi-Hat issues that have been reported on TH-cam etc ?
I did 2 videos (links below) on that because it really wasn’t reported properly…. Also, SIMMONS contacted me and said they’ve worked on a patch for those that have the drums and they’ll likely start fixing it on the newer models before they’re sold.

@@KeithronPowell Thanks man for the tips to fixing the issue.. Wish Simmons would make an Android app. Not all of us have Apple lol. Luv my SD1200.
Can this be configured for a left handed drummer?
Yes
@@KeithronPowell Just got my 1250 kit. Waiting on my new drum throne and speaker. Don't suppose you'd have time to do a "how to video" on how to set the kit up left handed. setting up my old Peal rhythm traveler was easy but this seems a little more complex.
what size drum key does it use? mine didn't come with one
Nah… you made a mistake and tossed it. Lol it’s just a drum key… there is no size for drum keys. Just hit guitar center and grab one
@Keithron Powell ayy thanks for responding man. I know nothing about drums or what I'm doing and didn't know if there was a difference. lol
@@willbink lol 😂 it’s all good
Could I use an extra drum on this kit as a side snare?
Yeah…. We all want more stuff to hit! 😂
Thank you for the info, but it took way too long to get to the point!
Thanks for your opinion…. You should make videos. 😂
@@KeithronPowell lol! Well, why would I do that? I'm not interested in demo, reaction and review videos. I come for the information facts and opinions, but I get 25 minute's of a comedian. It's very hard to find demo's without a bunch of talking, and goofing off.
@@gregorydavidson177 you’re complaining about free info? 😂😂 you want to put demands on creators for info you don’t pay for? 😂😂😂 Believe it or not some of us want to have a little fun not to mention some people come back for more info and even reach out. I choose to have fun and tell the stories the way I want. It has worked for me. I hope the info you had to wait on worked and helped. I hope you find it a release from your busy day and that you’re entertained when you come to my channel. I like to have a lil fun and get to know people. I’m sorry if that is not your cup of tea.
@@KeithronPowell okay good sir! You have a wonderful day, and keep doing what it the way you want. You are right! It's your channel and you can operate it how you like. I guess I just thought that the viewers opinion mattered to.
@@gregorydavidson177 you’re correct and they do… but check my comments. If I’m not having fun and I’m providing free info… why would I do it? I’m not trying to be argumentative I’m just saying I like what I do and it’s been a fun few years. And a lot of people seem to like it. Thanks for your comments and I’m sorry that my style doesn’t work for you.
What’s better , the Sd 1250 or the Titan 50?
I’m working on videos discussing that. Truth is that’s not a fair fight just 2 different classes. At that point you kinda need to base it on what you’re looking to do with your drums. I will say this…. The 1250 is connected permanently to my studio.
@@KeithronPowell thank you, will the titan 50 be a permanent part as well?
@@65zits I think you misunderstood me…
@@KeithronPowell explain please
@@65zits the 1250 is my main!!! It’s permanently connected… I’m trying to say I’m not using the other as a primary set…👨🏽💻
